O Sue now you are tempting me!! I have been to the Festival of Quilts every year since it started (8 or 9 I can't remember which) I have always stayed in the local hotel - great rates for the event and spent two days of heaven. The classes are good, the quilts spectacular and the fabric temptation overwhelming. I decided to give it a miss this year for various reasons but if there were others going -well... It is just so busy that I dont know if I could cope with a one day visit.
